What are the probable causes of DTCs P053 and P0171?

171 code bank one lean 174 bank two lean
possible vaccum leak

code p 0171 refers to system too lean bank 1===causes --intake /exhaust leak---AIR system---MAF/VAF sensor---fuel pressure/pump---injector/s---HO2S
In this case I would suspect the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S)
then check fro a cracked flex section in the exhaust before the cat converter
code p 0174 refers to system too lean bank 2---causes intake /exhaust leak--fuel pressure/pump---injector/s---AIR system---hose connection/s

Please go to this site on pc, It will tell the meaning of the codes and detail info. God-Bless! ( repairpal.com/obd-II-code-po171-and-po174.) Clink on first link, when page comes up.

P0171=system too lean bank 1

System too lean can be low fuel pressure, fuel filter dirty, fuel pump weak or dirty pump sock/filter, dirty/restricted fuel injectors, MAF contaminated, exhaust leaks near O2 sensor, EGR gasket or diaphragm leaking . The P0500 speed sensor code could be a wiring/connector issue or the sensor itself. Check and clean the connections first.

HI the DTCs you listed P0171 P0174 are lean fuel trim codes. I see alot of faulty O2 sensor cause these to set along with leaking intake gaskets and fuel pumps. Without being able to see actual data from the trucks system its impossible to pin point the cause I can only give what issues we see the most of
